I've got normal Sky+ which according to the (cardboard outer) box has an 80gb hard drive in it. I recorded a three and a half hour programme which it reckoned was 10% of the available space, so 35 hours at a guess.

The best thing about Sky+ over other PVRs is being able to record one Sky channel whilst you're watching another, which you won't be able to do with a seperate recorder, as it won't have two Sky tuners in it, even if it does have dual tuners.
